5g FAILURE TO ESCAPE SNOOKERS BY STRIKING AN ON BALL.
This is a foul.
A player is considered snookered when it is deemed impossible to hit any part of a ball on by way of a straight line shot.
In escaping from a snooker the player need only cause the cue ball to contact an on ball.
It is NOT necessary to pot a ball OR to cause any ball to contact a cushion AFTER escaping a snooker.
Players should seek confirmation of the snooker from an opponent, referee or official before playing a shot.
